I feel sorry for Naniwa and at the same time I know they forced him to say this.
A virtuous act is performed habitually, and not once from incentive alone.

GOMTV have released a statement on the Incident. Posted earlier but buried under the comments -_-


I don't see a reciprocal apology, or even an acknowledgement of their flawed format, in that statement. If anything that GOM statement sounds even more like a canned answer than Quantic's repsonse.


maybe gom really thinks they didn't do anything wrong (which i agree with) and naniwa did something wrong and apologized?

The first time Naniwa earns my respect.

Although i think they forced them to do this.

If NaNiwa has the quality and skill to compete in Code S, then he would easily(?) win the final in Code A and earn Code S during Jan GSL. Hope to see new NaNiwa in GSL

Now I just have to wonder if Naniwa really thinks this way or if Quantic kind of forced him to say something along these lines. (I am not hating on Naniwa in any way, but it is a possibility)

Anyway, a nice statement all in all.

An unprofessional action, followed by an extremely professional reaction. Fair play to Quantic and Naniwa for accepting responsibility. Now lets move on, I want to see what Naniwa had in store for Nestea :D

What I fear with this apology thing, sincere or not, will make the community somehow justify what he did earlier and target their pinchforks to gomtv, instead of accepting the apology and the punishment.

WTF GOM, if oGsMC pulled this at NASL, they would laugh at it... drop the ''this is a great pro-attitude'' and let player behave unprofessional, let the community decide what is BM and what not... GOM DROPS NANI, I DROP GOM

It's already happening in this thread I see... sigh, mindless sheeps...

It's really a cultural gap. Not even IdrA would dare to do what Naniwa has done, while IN Korea. IdrA spent years in Korea to understand Korean culture (perhaps respect, status quo... etc) and then to get some respects from the Koreans. Naniwa has yet to do that.

I think it's a cultural gap both ways. I think if Sundance was in Mr. Chae's position, you'd see the league taking responsibility for the format and not punishing the player this harshly. Both parties have been disrespectful and acted inappropriately. One has apologized and taken responsibility and now the other ought to.


i really have to criticize ur point of view on this. rules are written as a general guideline to run things and information for the players. they are not the end all for which all decisions are made around. at the end of the day, the league can still make executive decisions at their own descretion.

just like in a court of law, there is still a judge and jury to make the decisions, we cant just go by the written code of regulations. but americans in general like to lean on the written law too much as opposed to "common sense." this is why there are so many ludicrous law suits out there that try to exploit the law. ie. burglar injures himself breaking into someone's home and sues (successfully in some cases) the home owner. of course there are many things that the US does right compared to Korea and Asian countries.

gom did nothing wrong and dont need to apologize for it. and the punishment is not too harsh and naniwa and the team has decided on an even more severe punishment for themselves. and it doesnt matter if everyone questions if they are being sincere or not, the fact that they are going through with it justifies that they think its the right thing to do.

gom.tv's response is very well stated. i think they have handled this matter very appropriately and professionally.

I support Nani and Quantic. Naniwa works his ass off to provide a superior viewing product to us, the fan. Sure, he does it for his own reasons, but he does it. I have a deep respect for his commitment to being the best.

I hope this apology resonates with the foreign and korean community and we are able to move on to the next drama! Cant wait!

did you bother to read it? they addressed the format issue. also, there is nothing to apologize for. they didnt ban naniwa, they just removed him from consideration because they no longer considered him a valuable player.

That was a wonderful response by Naniwa. I was really impressed reading that, and can only hope he meant it.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Wonderful statement. I am appeased with regards to NaNiWa. I'd like to see him implement such things in the course of the next fantastic year of eSports!

lol, I hate to say it but this doesn't sound like naniwa... It kinda sounds like someone from quantic wrote it and naniwa said sure. Im sure im wrong though

I think what happend to Naniwa is just, it costed his team exposure and gom money and he must be punished... Some people take this seriously and we have to for it to be a true "sport" players in the nfl get fined for misconduct hell they get fined for having long hair, harsh rules come with the territory. I hope Naniwa learned from his mistakes because he will truly become a fierce competitor.
